The Wisdom of Solomon Applied to Modern Liberals By Dennis Campbell

"The wisest man in history was the great philosopher/king Solomon, who ruled over Israel 3,000 years ago during the height of that nation's power and prosperity.

His story is recorded in First Kings of the Old Testament (New International Version). At the beginning of Solomon's reign, God appeared to him in a dream and asked what he desired from the Lord. Solomon asked for 'a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.'

This pleased the Lord, who said, 'Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be.'

Solomon's great wisdom is displayed in the book of Proverbs, a series of sayings that cover most aspects of human life. Remarkably, Solomon seemed to anticipate today's liberals in these gems.

Of course, he did not use the word liberal, but instead made repeated references to fools. He was biting in his disdain for their behavior and in his warnings of the consequences of it. Two Hebrew words were most frequently used that are translated 'fool.'"
